fully chosen. The basque, in the striped
fabric, has broad Byron collar and plait-
ed vest of the silk, and is further trimmed
by the addition of ornamental metal but
tons. The two long square basques into
which it is cut behind have two of these
fancy buttons upon each OF them. The
drapery constitutes one of the most curious
effects OF the season. 1t is of the plain
dark debeige, and begins, both tabter and
back drapery, right beneath the edge of
the basque, on both hips. The tdbtier
presents plain square front panel, sup
plemented at the edges with several sue
cessive plaits which are excessively broad.
At the back the first folds of the drapery
are long, straight, and severe, but to the
rear of these come two rather family defined
.jabots, the whole reaching the bottom of
the skirt. The latter, where it becomes
visible (and ii has but slight opportunities
to reveal itself is of the striped wooden
fabric, and is quite plain, even the foot
ruffie being omitted this latter omis-
sion being feature on some of the new
costumes.
Between the front and back draperies oc-
ours space or panel of the silk on each
side. This extends from the bottom of the
basque to the edge of the skirt, and con-
sists OF the gathered spaces and the shir-
rings which produce them. Cuffs and col
lar of silk, ornamented with the same
unique metal buttons employed upon the
other portions Of the dress.
The long sustained popularity which
has enabled heliotrope 10 continue the
favorite among colors for so great length
of time is almost marvel in the annals of
fashion.
1t is, beyond all others, the color in mil
linery. and its shades comprise an infinite
gamut of beautiful tints, from the palest
lilac and lavender 10 the richest puppies.
Other colors which are still liked are
Charles X. and English" pink, both of
which are among the colors best liked for
millinery purposes; ciel blue, all the we'll
known shades of green, and many other
tints are also seen. There is a tendency
toward n greater adherence to nature in
the flowers seen, and these are also usually
the more delicate and elegant blossoms in
place of the great masses of horticultural
products which formerly graced fashion
able bonnets.
The shapes seen are many. Small,
snugly fitting capotes are worn upon
matronly heads as a general thing, but
the shapes our younger ladies admire are

Detached Thoughts.

Nothing can so humiliate q philos-
opher as loss of temper
1t is little odd and wholly true that
/ have found abiding pleasure in con-
Tossing error.
Nothing more degrades ones thought
than habitual compa1ionship with the
coarse and ignorant.
All things and condit ons that are
valuable and meritorious in the life Of
man are included in the general term
Virtue.
He who shortens his own life by ex-
cess is not less murderer than he
who drives into your heart the knife
The one Xxi Is; the other butchers.
Whereas man regards himself as the
Behemoth of creation, it is a comical
fact that he is Only the pismire. And
how he tugs at his half-grain OF corn
Among the dearest pleasures that /
enjoy is the anticipation of some espe-
cial happiness that / can buy with
work and not with any other currency
in this world.
The readiness of truly great and u.e
full men to confess their lack of perfec-
ton comforts me when l am unusually
oppressed with n sense of my own
poverty in the matter of angelic attpi-
butes.
If you are Is or 20 years old, and
have read Dickens and "John Halifax, :"
and begun on Shakespeare, you have
handicapped the divinest dancing dude
that ever wore pointed shoes and a high
shirt collar.
One of our human frailties is the APP
petite with which We devour the triv al.
1t is kind of lust for the contempti-
BILE and quite as facilitating to the
higher and spiritual man as the SEN
sual is to the grosser and physical
man.
The man or the youth who is often
quoted as one that invariably respects
his word enjoys larger measure of
public confidence and esteem than does
the VIGOROUSLY untruthful man or
youth who is known TO practice all the
other virtues.
l would be not only lamp to show
youth the safest footing through the
world, but carrier of bandages and
liniments for the speediest cure of bro
ken bones and bruised flesh that are
among the unavoidable exigencies of
the journey of life.
would study the lofty religion of
Fortitude, and so become as great as
woman in one unconquerable virtue.
Who so faces all the sad designs of life
undismayed, and accepts the issues of
destiny unembittered, makes of thistles
q downy pillow and distills from nettles

Habit, In its influence on human ac-
ton, is almost as startling a force as
gravitation is in its relations to the
physical universe. The chief difference
is that habit is despotic and individual,
while gravitation is majestic and uni
versal. The one is proof of human
frailty. The other is manifestation
of Almighty power. Free

"hck" him, take away his marbles, and
make him come back into the house and
behave himself; give him the best place
at the table, and by and by acquiesce when
he saws il is his turn to run the house. In
moment of good feeling and fraternal
love / begin to give back the marbles

but give them to him. l want to do this;
il pleases him, and makes me feel better.
While / am doing this along comes my
step father, who hid himself under the
bed all the time we were fighting, and only
sent the hired man to represent him-he
comes along now and says:
Here, jefferson, I'm going to give you
back all the marbles that Abraham took
away from you.
Will l give my brother another solitary
marble? Not by long chalk; Ill lick
my step father first. BY his ill-timed, med
dlesome interference in matter that didnt
concern him he has retarded what he sought
to promote.
And, finally, brethren. when the hen is

from Washington to Mexico can't stop her:
IL you destroy her nest and lock her out OF
the hennery, she will set with perfect faith
and tireless patience under the hobs or an
old wood-shed on a bottle-neck and
bureau-knob. She may even be reducedt to
the necessity of setting standing up, but she
will set. When it comes time to return the
battle flags the men who captured them will
restore them, and no man who stayed IN
Buffalo all through the battle-fiag season
need feel called upon to tell them when
that time arrives. The hen will be apt TO
know it herself. A man who would tell
hen when it is time for her to set would
have gall enough to tell man on ship
board that he would come around and tell
him when it was time to get sea sick.

1T WILL NOT WORK.

Analysis Of the Presidents Letter I'm Re-
fusing to Go to 81. Louisa Deep Laid
scheme To Create Dissension i'm the
Ranks of the Grand Army.
Washington Cor. Inter Ocean,
Persons who claim to have good
sources of information say that they
know that the letter of the President,
In which he declined to go to EST. Louis
has q significance that does not appear
upon the surface "The President"
said gentleman prominently connect
ed with Grand Army matters, "has
been told by some one that he can
help to create dissension in the Grand
Army, and force the Democratic SOL
diers out of it, and cripple that organi-
zation for the Presidential campaign.
he seems to think that the Grand Ar
my is composed of two radically hos
tile camps-the Democratic and the
Republican soldiers - and that the
Democrats are much more Democrats
than they are Grand Army men. In
this he is greatly mistaken, for some
of the posts which were the most earn
est in their denunciation of the admin
istration with respect to the flags were
Democrats throughout the war. There
is no difference in the Grand Army on
the issues which grew out of the war,
and the fact that the administration is
engaged in crusade of this sort shows
that they do not understand the temper
of the Grand Army any better than
they do the general spirit of the Amer
lean people"
One of the most prominent and popu-
lar of the Grand Army leaders here
says: "There is no strife in the ranks
of the Grand Army. Our organization
has never been a political one, and
never will be- 1t would never lend it
:, self to a warfare against any political
candidate for an Office unless that man
should be disloyal or an avowed enemy
of the soldiers of the Union. Our
Democratic comrades know that, and
for that reason l do not think that any
scheme to divide the Grand Army can
succeed. So far as Pres dent Cleve-
land is concerned l can only say that
he had many friends as we'll as enemies
in the Grand Army before the flag cpl
4 sode took place. That was condemned
>by all Grand Army men, Republicans
and Democrats and Bourbons. You
know that Tuttle's corporations were
not Endorsed by the body of our organ
ization, and if the President had gone
to st. Louis he would not have been
insulted. The trouble with Mr.. Cleve-
land and the Grand Army is simply
this and this only: He has never said
yet that the war for the Union was
right. He has never yet shown honest
sympathy for the Union veterans. On
the other hand, he has repeatedly ex-
tolled the bravery of the ex-Confed-
crates, assured them of his esteem, and
has even commended the secession
teachings of Calhoun as worthy of the
study of every American citizen. Let
him say once that we fought for good
and righteous cause, and all will be
we'll

most fastidious taste must find satisfaction

most fastidious taste must find satisfaction
in the stocks shown.
The two We illustrate give an idea Of
some of the most stylish parasols seen this
season. They are rather plain handles and
moderate sized frames To begin with, but
the fall of lace and the three knots OF rib
bon on the one, and the fancy striped silk
of the other, change them into two of the
prettiest a saucy face ever peeped from
under.
Ladies are themselves exercising their
own cunning in recovering aud ornament
ing old ones they already possess. If she
is neat and dextrous with the scissors and
needle, there is no reason why any woman
may not thus add to her stock of sun
shades.
Dress reform has been acknowledged
before now as one of the questions of the
day-of course more particularly for that
half of the worlds population whom IL
most concerns. Many and various have
been the efforts made to introduce styles of
dress which their originators successfully
claimed to be the only salvation of woman
and each of these readily found adherents,
however absurd in themselves. Several la
dies of title (and who should, naturally, be
ladies of fashion, also) walk the streets
of London in divided skirts, or Bloomer
costumes-martyrs to their principles, for
of course they attract more or less atten-
ton. Now, to being looked at admirnely.
few women object, but to be eyed with
cynical. sneering, uncomplimentary
glances-to be regarded as Strong
minded"-to be called to the bar of popu-
lar opinion on the charge of having IN
sexed themselves-these are things women
cannot and will not brook, no matter how
praiseworthy may be the costumes they
are invited 10 don. But if woman de-
sires to adopt dress reform in its best fea-
tsres, the public need, really, be none the
wiser.
Tea-govns in diaphanous summer ma
terials more than hold their own. They
are so comfortable, so cool, so becoming
the ladies wear them on every possible oc-
casion.
The greatest invention is exercised in
their composition. They are made OF

Then he arrayeth himself in a corset
and pinneth cuff to his undergarment,
that il may do duty as n shirt front; for it
costeth but two cents to launder the cuffs,
and he thereby saveth eight cents differ
ence on n shirt.
He marketh for himself low water
mark on his neck, and covereth the same
with a celluloid fence, which with ammonia
he washeth before using.
Next doth he comb and anoint his hair,
and he bangeth the front portion thereof.
He prospecteth in the capillary oasis on
his upper lip, and counteth the number of
sprouts therein.
He burnett IA match, and with the Gin
der marketh on the wall an increase of
one.
Then he listh on his couch and battleth
with his cork screw trousers until he doth
be red in the face.
And after many, many, long, long min
utes he succeedeth in getting within the
bifurcated raiments, and he buttoneth
them with a boot-hook.
Whereupon he next seweth pair of
hose-tops to his CATERS, and useth an hour
in worming his feet into his unpatented
contraptions.
His collodian cuffs he washeth and fast
eneth to the sleeves of his coat, then dom
meth the garment.
With great care he removeth the wine
stains from his hat and brusheth off the
dust that hath accumulated thereon.
